PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Timbers' season-opening draw with the Union left them wondering what they could have done to pull out the win.

"I think every single guy, if they look at that game, they'll say 'Yes, I could have done more.' We have to fix that," captain Will Johnson said.

Newcomer Gaston Fernandez scored on a header in stoppage time to give the Timbers the 1-all draw against the re-tooled Union on Saturday night.

The goal in the 93rd minute got past goalkeeper Zac MacMath in driving rain, and the Timbers stole three points from the Union, who got a goal in the 64th minute from Jack McInerney.

The Union went 12-12-10 last season, finishing seventh in the Eastern Conference and missing the playoffs for the second straight year.

But Philadelphia looked like a new team in the opener, pressuring the Timbers from the start. After a scoreless first half, McInerney, with help from newcomer Maurice Edu, headed the ball past Donovan Ricketts off a corner from Cristian Maidana. It was the 25th goal of McInerney's career. He had 12 goals last season for the Union.

"To give one up in injury time is a tough way to lose a couple of points, but Portland's a really good team, so you've got to think there's a lot to build on from that game," Union manager John Hackworth said.

Philadelphia's offseason moves were headlined by the addition of Edu, acquired from English Premier League side Stoke City in late January. The Union also added Maidana and traded for Austin Berry. They played Saturday without midfielder Conor Casey, who also missed the preseason with a calf strain.

Unlike the Union, the nucleus of the Timbers remained largely intact, including Goalkeeper of the Year Donavan Ricketts, top scorer and Newcomer of the Year Diego Valeri and Johnson. Portland added Fernandez and defender Norberto Paparatto, both of Argentina.
